#Field Service Mobile App3 discussing

Hi all, in the Field Service mobile app (iOS), the Schedule tab appointment card shows the date month-first

("Tuesday, Aug 25, 2026") instead of UK day-first ("25 Aug 2026"). The times on the same card are fine (24-hour), so it's just the date ordering. 

 

Org Default Locale, the mobile user's Locale, and the device Region are all English (United Kingdom)

(ICU formats). There's no date-format option in Field Service Mobile Settings. 

 

Is this a known issue, and is there any supported way to control the date format on the card? 

 

Why does the Field Service mobile Schedule card show US date format (

    I asked 2 different AI and both said this is a inherent, hard-coded design behavior or probable bug in the app. Unfortunately, both failed to point me to any valid resource where this limitation is documented. You can raise a case with Salesforce support to see what they have to say.

Hello, 

 

I need an advice - since recentlly we used Work plan and Work steps. 

Our Technicians use Field Service mobile app, but somethimes they forgot to fill in/complete the work steps. 

Can you reccomend me what I can do that they not skip this?  

 

I am going to create a screen flow in the mobile app with all process steps - start work, fill in the information in WOLI, add product consumed and so on, but soon I can't finish it this task. 

 

So I need something which I can use untill the flow is ready. 

 

Thanks in advance!

    We got the solution from the support team actually : 

     

    A picklist must be used and the "compact" variable must be set to true. 

     

    Thank you all for your answers.

 Hi Everyone, 

 

We’ve shared an Idea to improve Field Service Mobile. Right now, GPS (LastKnownLatitude / Longitude) only updates when online, so we lose travel history and mileage data in remote areas. 

The request is simple: let the app capture GPS offline and sync it once back online. This would really help with mileage accuracy, safety, and compliance.

 Also, I’d love to hear your suggestions or use cases — what else would make offline GPS more useful for your teams? 

Thanks for your support!

Hello experts,

 

We have started receiving some negative feedback about the performance of the Field Service mobile application. We'd like to experiment with the Field Service Mobile Settings to see if this improves anything. We have to use non-prod orgs and test data for the same.

 

Can someone please guide me on how to gauge the performance of the app? I cannot install Xcode (our users are on iOS), and I don't think 3rd-party emulators will provide near-correct performance results. Do we have something in the app itself that can be utilized? I'd appreciate any other ideas as well.

 

Thank you!

Contractor is getting a bad request error in mobile Service appointment list view. It does have permission sets, it is assigned to the right profile. Yet, when tech tries to update status, then the error comes up.

    sound like an issue with service appointment lifecycle. Pls check if users has proper permission and if the status change for the profiles enabled.
